HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 907, 534, 773, 13 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 907, 534, 773, 13 is 1 the largest number which exactly divides all the numbers i.e. where the remainder is zero. Let us get into the working of this example.
Consider we have numbers 907, 534, 773, 13 and we need to find the HCF of these numbers. To do so, we need to choose the largest integer first and then as per Euclid's Division Lemma a = bq + r where 0 ≤ r ≤ b
Highest common factor (HCF) of 907, 534, 773, 13 is 1.
HCF(907, 534, 773, 13) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 907, 534, 773, 13 is 1.
Step 1: Since 907 > 534, we apply the division lemma to 907 and 534, to get
907 = 534 x 1 + 373
Step 2: Since the reminder 534 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 373 and 534, to get
534 = 373 x 1 + 161
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 373 and the new remainder 161, and apply the division lemma to get
373 = 161 x 2 + 51
We consider the new divisor 161 and the new remainder 51,and apply the division lemma to get
161 = 51 x 3 + 8
We consider the new divisor 51 and the new remainder 8,and apply the division lemma to get
51 = 8 x 6 + 3
We consider the new divisor 8 and the new remainder 3,and apply the division lemma to get
8 = 3 x 2 + 2
We consider the new divisor 3 and the new remainder 2,and apply the division lemma to get
3 = 2 x 1 + 1
We consider the new divisor 2 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
2 = 1 x 2 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 907 and 534 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(3,2) = HCF(8,3) = HCF(51,8) = HCF(161,51) = HCF(373,161) = HCF(534,373) = HCF(907,534) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 773 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 773 and 1, to get
773 = 1 x 773 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 773 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(773,1) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 13 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 13 and 1, to get
13 = 1 x 13 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 13 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(13,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
